    < Previous Curriculum in-depth Next > French “Becoming an active communicator in the world’s global village” Our Languages Curriculum intends to: Broaden pupils’ horizons by developing a passion for languages and cultures and recognise the additional career opportunities open to people who speak an additional language. Ensure that every pupil is encouraged and supported to study a language for GCSE. Encourage a growth mind-set in pupils to learning a new language and develop the confidence to communicate. Secondary Choices Process Learn More Overview of the Course: The learning of a language encourages respect for other people; it fosters an understanding of the interrelation of language and human nature. Studying any foreign language will broaden minds and give pupils a better insight into the world around us. It will encourage empathy as an individual. It demonstrates openness to society and an ability to communicate with others on all levels. The learning of a language supports an appreciation of cultural diversity. Learning a foreign language is a liberation from insularity and provides an opening to other cultures. A high-quality languages education will foster pupils’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. This enables pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing. It also provides opportunities for the pupils to communicate for practical purposes, learn new ways of thinking and read great literature in the original language, equipping pupils to study and work in other countries Pupils will continue to study the language they have learnt at Westgate since Year 7. Some pupils choose to continue with a second language. German will also be offered as a GCSE starting in Year 9 (dependant on pupil numbers). Several trips run throughout the year to complement the learning of languages and broaden pupils’ cultural experiences. EYFS | KS1 Content KS2 Content Year 7 & 8 Content Year 9 Content Year 10 & 11 Content Overview of the Course: Key stage 3 is organised in engaging termly topics though which the key skills are taught. Pupils in every class will be encouraged to verbally express themselves through a range of structured talk opportunities, as well as developing close and active listening skills. Both the reading and writing skills are explicitly taught so that the pupils can develop their confidence throughout the two years. Course Content: Year 7 Year 7 focuses on developing the skills needed to become an active language learner; pupils will choose to study French or Spanish. In the Autumn Term, the unit: ‘This is Me’ teaches the pupils the skills for them to become confident at learning a language by encouraging pupils to speak almost immediately. The Spring term, using the world of comic books, encourages the pupils to give opinions and talk about themselves; Picasso and Dali stimulate descriptive language in the Summer term. Year 8 Year 8 builds and develops the skills from Year 7. Most pupils will continue to study the language they chose in Year 7. Confident linguists may also choose to study French/Spanish in Year 8 as a second language; we will offer these depending on sufficient interest. (German is on offer to start at GCSE in Year 9 dependent on uptake.) Places and buildings are used to introduce the pupils to the future tense, through a topic on future towns and the past tense is introduced in the Spring Term when the pupils focus on castles and jousting! The Summer Term helps build on the pupils’ cultural capital, as well as their language skills, with a focus on celebrations: festivals and traditions. Many of the topics - and especially the trips organised to complement the curriculum - are designed to broaden pupils’ cultural experiences. Course Skills: Listening and Speaking: First pupils interact with their target language by developing active listening skills and the confidence of speaking a new language and communicating with each other. Reading: pupils’ skills are built up by activities involving word recognition and very quickly they develop the skills needed to decode meaning in more challenging texts. Writing: using sentence starters, vocabulary booklets and active learning strategies, pupils begin to construct meaning and manipulate language to express themselves and communicate in writing Assessment: Throughout KS3, the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing are assessed. The pupils are fully prepared for these in lessons before their summative assessment. We build on our language skills. The topics covered will be: Me, myself and friends. Home, town, neighbourhood and region. Free time activities Food and eating out. Healthy eating. Customs and festivals. GCSE French syllabus We will consider 3 main themes: Identity and Culture.

  • Enriching the Curriculum

    Enriching the Curriculum Teaching colleagues are passionate about making learning in their subject applicable to life outside of school. At the Westgate School, pupils will have opportunities to participate in planned enrichment activities that are integral to the way in which our curriculum is taught. Examples of this might include field work in Geography, outdoor learning in the primary phase and regular theatre visits to enrich pupils’ learning in Drama. Learning beyond the classroom begins in the Early Years Foundation Stage where the concept of free-flow, children moving their learning to different settings, is encouraged and supported through the design of our fantastic buildings. Similarly, we encourage pupils to learn together through enrichment activities such as participating in our regular music concerts. Our musical groups and choirs are varied and represent a range of experiences. It is also not unusual to see adult members of our school community participating in musical events – another example of our community of learning in practice. In the Primary Phase, pupils will take part in music and drama, supported by older pupils and specialist teachers. A highlight of our school calendar is our carol concert in Winchester Cathedral which sees performances representative of all members of our learning community, including the participation of all pupils in Year 7. The Westgate School is a flagship school for Hampshire Music Service with whom we enjoy a close partnership to the benefit of our young musicians. In addition to structured enrichment activities, the School has a wide range of clubs that support learning and foster enthusiasm for a subject. Pupils can choose to attend Art or Humanities clubs where they are immersed in extended learning and are supported informally by specialist teaching colleagues. Our Home Learning Club offers additional support where pupils can enjoy working in our Learning Resource Centre with other pupils providing support or, with the help of older pupils. ​ Celebrating Excellence The Westgate School has a long history of academic excellence; enrichment activities are not only part of this, but are central to our school’s ethos. As a member of The Westgate community, excellence is both about achieving good results and, demonstrating excellent learning skills. We celebrate this not only through academic results, but through participation; our annual Sports Presentation Evening the School’s Honours Evening recognise individual journeys to excellence in a wide range of learning experiences. Each year we mark the achievements of our Year 11 pupils with a Presentation Evening - a very proud evening for our school. ​ ​ Anchor 1 Community Lettings Learn More The Duke of Edinburgh Award Learn More All Primary Phase Clubs Art Club - Flying Colours (Yr 1-6) Learn More Ballet Starz (Year R to 6) Learn More Drama Club (Yr 3-6) Learn More Feeba Summer Camp Learn More All Secondary Phase Clubs

  • The Duke of Edinburgh Award

    The Duke of Edinburgh Award < Previous Enriching the Curriculum Next > The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a nationally recognised scheme designed to extend the life experiences of young people. We are the biggest DofE school centre in Hampshire. 10 Step eDofE User Guide for Participants .pdf Download PDF • 1.01MB Participants choose to support our school community through volunteering to read with Primary Phase pupils or, by helping at after school clubs. Others look further afield and volunteer in our local communities. Pupils are required to engage in a range of skills that may include: producing art, musical compositions or learning a new sport. Perhaps the most exciting section is the Expedition. We work with pupils in planning their routes, choosing and cooking their foods and how to pack and carry their loads over the two-day journey. We start small with pupils walking for a day with small day-sacks then progress to carrying and cooking food outdoors before the Practice and Assessed Expeditions. Throughout the whole adventure our large number of trained colleagues are on hand to guide and support. Parents are also helped: For many, it is the first time that they have had to let their child lead the way - but it's a wonderful opportunity for young people and something that we are proud to offer in our school. At The Westgate School we have a thriving DofE group with over 90 Year 9 and 10 pupils participating each year. In Year 9 pupils may start their DoFe adventure by completing the Bronze Award and then in Year 10 they can continue onto the Silver Award. We carry out training after school and then in the summer term travel across the South Down's Way to complete our expedition section. ​​For more information please see dofe.org
